Adding Multiple Alternate Approvers

Alternate Approvers can be added if the Primary Approver is not able to approve time for a period. Alternate Approvers can be set up in the TMC and through the Approval Application, which is accessed through the email approval links sent to clients. For more information see Assigning an Alternate Approver

Use the Alternate Approver tool only if your change is short term or temporary. If your change is long term, please update approver details in your front office system or make a permanent change to the approver details in Bullhorn Time & Expense.

If this feature is enabled, multiple Approvers may be manually added to receive approval requests from Bullhorn Time & Expense.

Multiple Alternate Approver entry is disabled by default. Contact Bullhorn Time & Expense Support to enable this feature.
